romney is in good shape. h he's made it through his hard part of the calendar. >> over the next month or so, santorum loses support and money? if romney is not getting to the 1144, why would santorum get out of the race. >> if the win is big enough tonight, the romney people say he can get there. the other thing is, you know, the press is schizophrenic. we love the race and competition. on the other hand, we have this manic desire to say to people, why aren't you getting out of the race. it's what's happening to gingrich. you can see the effect of that. if romney wins in illinois after florida and michigan, it's the narrative of the santorum campaign. it will be tougher if he couldn't win what is a one-on-one race. that was the big premise. >> we'll see tonight. >> i look at russell's note this morning. >> russell lovelady. >> the lovelady is in. one quote after another from illinois republicans who say on the record, i'm not excited about romney. the guy doesn't move me. these aren't the republican governors
